Since 1997, we've been all about classic LucasArts titles, as well as LEC alumni: Double Fine, Ron Gilbert/Terrible Toybox, Dave Grossman, Telltale, and more!
Too bad there will probably never be a real sequel to the original game, i hope ome day someone will at least release a leak of a demo or build of this game, just like happened to the cancelled version of duke nukem forever...
Wow I never thought about using the grog on the safe, I do a yearly playthrough of Monkey Island and I am still discovering new dialogues. The last one I discovered was trying to handle the stolen credit to the shopkeeper, Guybrush commented something like "I am not that dumb" but in spanish. What an amazing game.
Caribbean Nights is a funny one. It starts off as the Cemetery theme, but then becomes similar to part of the ‘dive to the bottom of the ocean’ theme at about 2:00? Maybe an early scratch before they figured out what track was used for what.
I just figure that by the time he got to the end of the game, he'd revised the amount downward. "You know what, $60 probably was too much after all. Never spend more than $20."
Yeah, that's how I interpreted it as well. At the beginning of his adventure, he hypes it up, but by the end of the game, he figures he overpaid. (Although those words are being put directly in his mouth by the consumer; that's why he replies he's not sure why he said that.)
I crushed the thumbs up symbol on your segment. Nice post, The International House of Mojo. Sustain the amazing work. Excited to see your next one from you.
Ah, my very first point-and-click adventure game. Specifically, this version. Still remember renting the cartridge as a kid (without the instruction manual) and not knowing the first thing about how to play it. Only a few years later (playing it on PC with an actual mouse) did I ever finally beat it. Anyway, the Maniac and Edison themes still rock.
That CD is one of my most prized possessions! Seriously, did any other game company have soundtracks that came even close to the musical marvels that Lucasfilm Games/Arts produced on a reliable basis? Anything that could at least hold a candle to the first couple of seconds of the Monkey Island theme? Anything that makes you instantly happy, similar to that? I don't think there is.
In pre-vm or -dosboxtimes this was sometimes the result of starting the game in win95 as on my computer midi was somehow unstable. This was basically the way I heard SoMI most of the time.
Well, ot looks more funny and comically when you see the eyes pop out of a blown fish. But still blowing its arse is not the right way to portray this 🤯tbh I played the game when it was released and never realised this, until recently when someone told me about it🤷♂️
Interesting. I got the links to the assets site and the corresponding Google Drive locations from the same place, but looks like LoL might be miscredited. Will look into it when I'm on a different computer, thanks!
